Hey, I'll sell you a pile of dirt for 100 grand, you must want it right? Because cosmically, there isn't any real difference between the carbon in the dirt and carbon in a huge pile of diamonds.
Our ability to utilize the available matter and energy is a different issue. It's just a matter of technological advancement to convert the pile of dirt into something useful to us and capitalism is very good at technological advancement.
